    59 dual quad carburetor identification

    If someone could help me with a way of positively identifying 283/270HP carter carburetors. Most sets no longer have ID tags. Therefore, casting IDs, and overall design would probably be a means. Thanks in advance for your info.

    Your TM&JG should have all the detail carb ID info. Don't know about '59, but for '57 270's, the air horns were 6-1203 or 6-1299 and the main bodies were 0-049 or 0-1049, with 1/2"-dia. weights on the air valve levers.

        According to the "Corvette Black Book", Mike Antonick, your '59 would have the same as '58:
        270 hp: 2613S in front of 2614S (Chevy 3741089 & 3741090)
        245 hp: 2626S in front of 2627S (Chevy 3744002 & 3744004)
        all have air horn 6-1299; main body 0-049 and/or 0-1049,
        according to "Chevrolet by the numbers", Alan Colvin
        You might want to get a copy of "Carter Carburetors", Dave Emanuel, ISBN 0-931472-11-3 for details.
        The books are available from the NCRS online bookstore.

        Hope this helps
